🐱 The Screen Addict | Travolta

I had the pleasure of meeting JT a couple of years ago when I acquired Chuck Russel’s crowd-pleasing Action-Thriller I Am Wrath (2016) at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Hollywood Legend took the time to snap a quick selfie with this devoted fan from The Netherlands. Forever aware of the camera though, he was still in the process of fixing his hair…

Dream Big!

And without a hesitation, I would say, I would invest this money for the future of my children. There is no other way around it.
...
So, I won't give you an estimate or explain how I would spend that money because, honestly, I don't know myself. But I do know that it's not always a life-or-death situation to have big goals or dreams. Yes, I want my children to study abroad, to have the best chances in life, and to be more prosperous than we are today. I definitely want to see them economically more sound and stable than us.

What is a Mangni?

Engagements in Muslim cultures typically follow a more traditional and family-oriented approach. The process often involves the families of the couple meeting to discuss and agree on the union, with the engagement being a formal agreement between the families. This usually includes a small ceremony where the couple may exchange rings or gifts, and the event is often celebrated with close family and friends. These customs emphasize the importance of family involvement and adherence to cultural norms.

Heat, Hospital, and Humanity: Life on the Frontlines of Karachi's Intense Summers

Karachi has been experiencing extreme heat for the past few years and also the winters have been incredibly real cold. You might think I'm stating the obvious, of course, it's hot in summer and cold in winter……but that's not the case. Each year, the temperature in summers keep breaking records, and the winters keep getting colder. The main reason for this is the lack of proper weather regulation and urban planning in Karachi. As a result, Karachiites have to face these extreme conditions every year.

A crafted celebration of our uniquely South African Fynbos

So that is actually what I wanted to share with you. I am always pro supporting the locals who create something completely unique to our beautiful country - plus it is just nice to give back to the community in whatever small ways we can. I spotted something on Saturday which I now only fell in love with on face value, but then after having a wonderful chat with the actual artist - decided to share it here.

I Would Be a Whale for Stuckism

What would I do with 25K?
I would buy Steem and become a whale (if possible). I would do this for two reasons.
As an artist, I have long hoped that my labor would be uplifting to the culture, and society would reward a very modest salary in return. I always joke that a part time dishwasher’s income is sufficient for my needs. That ship hasn’t come in. Not yet anyway. My wife Rose is the breadwinner, and we’re both getting on in our years.

Eiffel Tower

Today I want to show you one of the most famous cities in the world. Paris! While I was on a business trip to France, I couldn't miss stopping by and seeing with my own eyes one of the most iconic and popular symbols of the globe. I assume you know that this year the Olympics will be held there. On this occasion, the Eiffel Tower in question was decorated with the rings of the Olympic symbol.

Paper Magazines and Paper Guy

Anyhoo, I found a bunch of old magazines in a drawer at my parents' home. I was pleasantly surprised to see something from my teens. The year on the magazines was 2010 which doesn't seem too long ago but if I think about my teens it feels like a century has passed.
